Acupuncture
involves more than just the obvious symptoms of a patient.
Acupuncturists evaluate all of the five senses, the manner in which the
patient speaks, what he or she talks about, Chinese pulses and takes
into account factors that may not necessarily be factors that Western
doctors value as being important. Many times, our physical pain comes
as a result of an emotional imbalance rather than an actual injury or
illness. Acupuncture is now a widely accepted form of treatment
especially for back and neck pains.
